COMMUNITY LEGAL HELP
Legal Clinics
Legal clinics may provide information or assistance based on subject and eligibility.
What this means
Community legal clinics may help with particular areas of law and may use financial or geographic eligibility rules. Immigration representation is not available from every clinic. A deadline should be identified before waiting for an appointment.
Step-by-step
- Identify the legal subject and any deadline
- Check the clinic’s service area and eligibility
- Ask whether immigration or refugee assistance is offered
- Prepare a concise chronology and the relevant notices
- Seek another authorized option promptly if the clinic cannot assist
What to prepare privately
Keep sensitive records secure. This website does not need passports, SINs, banking credentials, immigration portal passwords or complete case files for an initial inquiry.
- Official letters and deadlines
- A short chronology
- Income and address information when eligibility requires it
- Identity information requested by the clinic
- Questions about scope and next steps
How to use this resource
- Use Legal Aid Ontario and official clinic sources
- Confirm service area and eligibility
- Act quickly when a deadline applies
